a Union veteran ana AN Anarchist.

TOPEKA, Sept. I'D. W. Boutwell,,
who was recently sentenced by the po-
lice magistrate of this city to serve 100
days in the county jail for resisting an
Office, has an interesting episode con-
nected with his early life as Union
soldier. While Colonel Veale was in
command at Kansas City during the
early part of the war, Boutwell, dis
guised himself and drifted down the
Missouri river below General Prices
camp. He went on shore. entered the
enemy's camp and possessed himself of
all the military plans of the rebels,
made his way safely back to Kansas
City and reported the result of his in
vestigations to headquarters. The
fact that this knowledge was known at
Kansas City prevented Price from at
lacking the city and probably saved
the lives of many Kansas soldiers. AS
a reward for this act of bravery, the
Kansas legislature in 1868 presented
him with 81 900 and silver medal.
Boutwell,, who is one of the oldest
residents of Topeka, is a singularly
obstinate man and a rank anarchist.
He refuses to work at the stone pile
and his sentence will doubtless be
served in solitary confinement.

posts. Fifty-nine posts cast ,702 for
and sixty-nine against the bill. The
posts at Rush City, Hastings, Rushs
ford, Vennondau, Ianesboro, Melrose,
Osaksins and Mazeppa voted unani-
mously in favor of the bill without an
nouncing their vote and hence they are
not given in the table. The post at
Shakesee voted unanimously against.
This vote also is not given. The post
at Mapleplain also cast twenty-five
votes against the bill because the mem

two Minneapolis posts reported are
unanimously in favor of the bill.

SAN uFRANCIsCo, Sept. I7.-Wm.
Dresbach, one Of the manipulators of
the recent collapsed wheat deal, has
fled with the county recorder full
statement of his liabilities and assets.
The most startling exhibit made is the
amount OF money owing to the Nevada
bank on promisSory notes. The state
ment shows that Dresbach owes the
bank directly $55O,00O. He also OBJ
tanned from the bank 90 .0O0, 600 on q
guaranty given by Chas. F. Reed, SO
that he received from the bank in vari-
GUS ways, $500, 900. Mr.. Reed, who
appears as guarantee for this enor-
nous loan, is IA farmer Of Yolo county,
in this state, and owns large tracts of
land there. How he satisfied the Ne
vada bank is not stated. Mrs. Paran
Stevens of New York is his sister, and
he has other wealthy relatives. In the
list OF assets there Is given a state
ment OF hfty-Seven vessels bound for
Liverpool, carrying sos 600 quarters of
wheat. Dresbach drew upon the con-
signee of this wheat in England for
more than present value of the carpoes.
and their assets therefore are of no
value. Among other assets are S27S. 46
of money on hand and there is also a
book account of 81 ,759, 600 due to Dress
back by Johnston, Booesch & Co. of
England, but this amount will not be
more than sufficient to cover losses sus-
tanned by this firm on the advance
made to cover losses on wheat in Eu-
rope on account of Dressbach. Henry
CObosigh of London is also recorded as
owing S7l2, 600, hut it is an oyer-esti-
mated value of the account for the
same reason stated in the case of John
ston, BoOesch s. Co. There are are va
rious other London accounts, but
deemed valueless. John RosenfieId Is
Is also quoted as owing SIO7 900. He
was partner with Dressbach and this
represents his loss in the Joint account,
The total liabilities amount to more
than 81 500, 900, which is practically un-
secured and which is supposed to rem
resent the loss in the great deal. Taken
as whole the exhibit is regarded as
the most remarkable in the history al
speculations in this country and is ac
cepted as confession of the necessity

Why MeGarigie Cannot be ExtradIeGed
WASHINGTON, D. G. Sept. 16.-The
following is Mr.. Bayard's report to the
president on the subject of McGarigle's
extradiction:
"TO the President-In compliance
with your request of the 7th instant.
for a report on the question whether.
considering the facts presented tend
ing to show that the scheme for the
escape Of William j. McGarigle, a
fugitive from justice of the United
States In the Dominion of Canada,
whose extradition is desired by the
authorities of the state of Illinois, was
concocted by them by means of a
foreign vessel, there are not grounds
upon which to ask for his surrender by
the British government. / have the
honor to state that after careful ex-
animation of the papers submitted,
am unable to discover in them any
ground upon which a demand by the
government of the United States upon
that of Great Britain for the surrender
of the accused could be based.''
The report continues: The first and
principal British subject alleged to
have been concerned in the escape and
by whom it was planned was one
Leonard st. John, who has resided in
the United States for perhaps more
than ten years and held position in
the hospital of which McGarigle was
warden. 1t thus appears that the
said st. John, although a British
subject, was, at and long prior to the
time of the acts complained of, within
the exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States and answerable generally to its
laws, and not to those of Great
Britain, for any Offenses he might
commit at his place of residence. The
government of Great Britain was in
no way responsible for his alleged
criminal conduct. 1t is clear that the
British ownership of the vessel on
which McGarigle escaped affords no
ground for demanding his surrender. -
